šBreaking Down MÄre Spella.
MÄre: In Old English, *mÄre* (or *mÄra*) means "greater, more, larger". It's a comparative form of "micel" (much, great).
Spella: Plural of "spell", which in Old English meant "story, tale, news, message, narrative".
It doesn't mean "magic spell" in the modern sense; that's a later semantic drift. In Old English texts, "spell" often refers to a spoken account, tidings, or a narrative adventure.
✅Translation.
So "MÄre Spella" literally means "more stories" or "greater tales".
Depending on context, it could be rendered as:
More adventures. If the tales are adventurous in nature.
Greater stories. Emphasizing importance or grandeur.
Further news. If used in a reporting context.
